Grayson Rodriguez, a top starter for the Baltimore Orioles, will begin the regular season on the injured list due to an issue near the back of his elbow. He is undergoing tests to determine the extent of the injury. Rodriguez received a cortisone shot and will be shut down for seven to 10 days before starting a throwing program. The 25-year-old pitcher has a history of arm injuries, including shoulder inflammation and a lat strain in the past. Grayson Rodriguez was poised for a breakout season in 2025 as a top-of-the-rotation starter for the Baltimore Orioles but will start the season on the injured list due to a lat injury. With Rodriguez out, the Orioles’ rotation depth chart includes pitchers like Zach Eflin, Charlie Morton, and Dean Kremer. Albert Suárez and Cade Povich may make the Opening Day roster, with Suárez potentially in the bullpen. Manager Hyde emphasizes the importance of having ample starting pitching depth due to the inevitability of needing more than five starters throughout the season.
